Petition End forced adoption from parents with learning disabilities

I want the laws on forced adoption changed so that parents with learning difficulties don't have to face discrimination by social services for have learning difficulties. Parents should have access to support instead of having their children taken away.

More details

My child was taken away from me because I have learning difficulties. Sadly this happens to many parents with learning needs or mental health. It is all based on the "crystal ball" method. More support should be given to parents with mental health or learning difficulties. It is not our fault how we were made. We should not be punished for it by having our children taken away.
